[Ducati] Things I am looking for

[Mike Aquino]

I was 11 years old when my Dad bought me a new 1973 Honda XR-75!  I 
thrashed that thing around Hollister Hills and bought myself a CB350 
when I was 17. Later I moved to a CB750-4, then a 1988 Heritage Softail, 
2000 RoadKing Classic...

I bought a 2000 Ducati Monster 750 from a guy at work that had put 1500 
miles on it before realizing he wanted an R6. I got it for a song.
My Harleys were sold off pretty quickly after that (tho I miss my Heritage!)

I currently ride a 2001 748 and a KDX200 and I'm building a Cafe' CB350! 
(1972)

I'm guessing 35 years isn't nearly enough for the "record" tho
